复原力的概念是一个得到广泛认可的研究领域，在学者、专业人士和从业者中日益受到重视。弹性思维有助于理解特定系统如何运作，该系统融合了自然现象和社会观点，涉及影响社会生态系统的干扰、意外和不确定性。我们认为，弹性是一个系统通过适应性循环以动态方式发展和运作的能力，其中家庭和社区与孟加拉国的河岸侵蚀问题相关。很少有研究来了解面临巨大威胁和挑战的社区如何与孟加拉国沿海三角洲的长期和急性河岸侵蚀相关。在这项研究中，我们通过复原力思维和适应能力，探讨河岸侵蚀如何影响下梅格纳河流域社区及其应对策略，并对其进行理论分析。本研究中使用的信息来自问卷调查、焦点小组会议 (FGM) 以及孟加拉国拉克什米普尔区 Ramgati Upazilla 的关键人员访谈，这表明受访者因河岸侵蚀而经历了严重的家庭流离失所。受访者被问及他们针对最近的河岸侵蚀采取了哪些应对机制。结果表明，亲戚、邻居和当地社区成员主要为受河岸侵蚀影响的家庭提供住所和支持。
The concept of resilience is a well-recognized field of study that is increasingly advanced among scholars, professionals, and practitioners. Resilience thinking helps to understand how a particular system works that incorporates both natural phenomena and social perspectives involving with disturbances, surprises, and uncertainty that affect socio-ecological systems. We argue resilience as the capacity of a system to evolve and function in a dynamic way through adaptive cycle where households and communities are linked to the problem of riverbank erosion in Bangladesh. Few studies have been conducted to understand how communities that face enormous threats and challenges related to chronic and acute riverbank erosions in the Bangladesh coastal delta. In this study, we explore and theorize how riverbank erosion impacts Lower-Meghna River basin community and their coping strategies through resilience thinking and adaptive capacities. Information used in this study are collected from questionnaire surveys, Focus Group Meetings (FGMs), and key personnel interviews from Ramgati Upazilla of Lakshmipur District, Bangladesh, which indicate that respondents experience significant household displacement due to riverbank erosion. Respondents were asked about what coping mechanisms they adopted in response to recent riverbank erosions. Results indicate that relatives, neighbors, and local community members primarily provide shelters and support for those families that were affected by the riverbank erosions.
